Chapter Seventy: Strict Training

  "What kind of hole are you digging? What can it hide? Put a rabbit in and see if you can spot it. What's that, a rock? That makes me even more worried. You won't even change the location to dig. You should know, if you're too slow with hiding, the devils will arrive, and by then your life will be gone. I don't want any of you to die."

  In the mountains, Liu He's training had reached a perverted level. Running with heavy loads and digging pits were just minor things. The most difficult part was that sometimes he would let them bury themselves in the ground for four to five hours before coming out again. Of course, this wasn't about being buried alive, but rather hiding inside, so when the command was given, they could quickly move up and find their target.

  These team members are unbearable, they all want to go back, but can't resist the temptation of Liu He's delicious food. Only Liu He himself is accurate in shooting, every time he arranges training tasks and casually assigns someone to be in charge, he goes hunting on the mountain. In these deep mountains and valleys, there are many prey, and besides, in this era, there is no animal protection law, so Liu He can hunt freely.

  In the eyes of the team members, delicious food is just wild vegetables stewed with animal meat, sometimes it's a rabbit, sometimes it's several wild chickens, and sometimes it's a wild boar. This is also why Liu He chose around ten people, if there were more, he wouldn't be able to supply them with these foods.

  With sufficient energy supply for their bodies, these team members also started to become stronger.

  The people on the mountain have good fortune, and naturally they won't let the family members at home suffer. Liu He sends someone with some meat food to run back every other day, just in time for a round trip that day. This is a win-win situation, so although the team members feel very bitter, not one of them wants to quit.

  "Assembly, everyone." "Commander, are we going to fight the devils?" "Fight the devils? What devils? You think you're in charge? I've been providing for you all for over half a month now. Next, it's your turn to go hunting. Our bullets are limited, only three per person per day. If you can't even hit anything with that, then let your families starve! The more you fight, the less I'll want you. You can just send them back home. Dismissed."

  It's time for you to try your luck on the mountain, you know that since these days, Da Zhuang has been following Liu He to the mountain to pick up hunting objects. Now it's also a good opportunity to train Da Zhuang well, and there are machine guns too. After finishing off the devils last time, Liu He suddenly discovered that this machine gun could also be a powerful killer for ambushes. If they can make good use of it, then their guerrilla team will be like adding wings to a tiger.

  At this time, Liu He's old guerrilla team, led by Li Shu, also began to study machine guns. They were wandering in the mountains, searching for Liu He, and they always felt that Liu He would not die and must be somewhere, even saying that they and Liu He were on the same mountain, but the mountain was too big, and it was impossible for them to meet each other from south to north.

  "Great, this is the kind of weapon a man should play with. Dazhuang, you come try it." Although this crooked machine gun has its problems, Liu He is using it for an ambush. Once he gets the hang of it, even if two bullets can kill one devil, it's still better than using a rifle.

  "Commander, I'm sure I've used it before." After Da Zhuang tried the gun and was very happy, "Well, from now on you'll practice this kind of gun with me."

  It's simple, Liu He drew a long strip shape on the mountain 100 meters away with something. Even if there was nothing going on, he would hold his machine gun and aim at that place. The problem is that there were too few bullets, every shot would reduce one bullet, which was really not satisfactory. Should they go for another ambush? However, the opportunity to encounter a small team of devils passing by was indeed rare.

  "Commander, we're back. Look at our harvest, not bad, right?" "En, the harvest is okay," Liu He circled around the prey, flipping it over with his hand, "You guys say, who still has bullets left."

  "Heh heh, Commander, we've run out of bullets. Otherwise, we wouldn't have returned so early." "Alright, tell me again, how did this rabbit end up with three bullet holes on its body? Not to mention, if we were to ambush ten devils, and you three take down one, who's going to take care of the other devils? And at this speed, it would only be enough time to take down one devil, while the others can counterattack. Their marksmanship is far more accurate than yours. All of you, go down and think about your tactics."

  "Sixth son, come here and send these few prey back to the village." In order to train Sixth's running ability, Liu He always lets Sixth go back as much as possible. The training here is mainly focused on running and ambush, and shooting is just practicing with a handgun. Also, during other people's leisure time, use someone else's long gun to practice shooting skills for a while.

  "Yes," Liu Zi happily grabbed a few of his prey and ran towards the village.

  "Alas," Liu He sighed, now that the war was urgent, although it was still early to end the war, but these few people could bring out one more day and kill a few more devils.

  There's no other way, so we'll just have to force them. Fortunately, people in this era don't have too many distractions, especially these illiterate old farmers, who are simple-minded and only care about filling their bellies and taking care of their wives and children. This devil is probably doing it for the sake of his wife and child as well.

  They started with eight people going hunting together, then four people went hunting together, and finally two people went hunting together. During the two-person hunting period, they often changed partners to adapt to each other's cooperative abilities.

  The bullets went from ten at first, then nine, and eventually five.

  "The front team member shot a rabbit, and the back team member shot a pheasant." That's how Liu He evaluated them, not bad, although the two prey were quite different, they still managed to bring them down.

  "Aim and fire." The two wild rabbits were moving in a line, one in front of the other. Liu He gave only one command, and both men raised their guns and fired at the same time. Not bad, neither of them hit the same rabbit.

  "Commander, commander, the villagers have entered the mountain again, the devils are here." Liu Zi came to report, panting and out of breath. "Come, speak slowly, do you know how many devils there are?"

  "Commander, I heard there are over twenty devils, but this isn't very accurate." "Alright, you continue to scout, the guerrilla team will assemble."

  "What's the matter, Commander? What else is going on?" This long period of training has made the team members numb, and they don't even know when they will be fighting against the devils. Liu He has been picking on them all day, making them feel so incompetent.
